The General Assembly of Iowa relinquished its concurrently held jurisdiction over criminal offenses involving Indians on the Meskwaki Settlement in Tama Iowa in 2016. Two and one-half years later, Congress repealed the State's jurisdiction over the same class of offenses. Did the State err by continuing to prosecute these offenses during the two and one-half years' period between Iowa's legislation of Iowa Code § 1.15A and Congress' legislation of Pub. L. 115-301? Did the General Assembly intend to include deferred judgments and suspended sentences in its abdication of jurisdiction in Iowa Code § 1.15A?
